And while I'm in the topic of cool jewels, here is another super new jewelry designer. She has her own blog as well. Her stuff are all bold statement pieces, and I love the mix of rocks and metals and colors. I have yet to see them in real life and try em on!

my favorite jeweler: EDDIE BORGO *belated post*

Gosh I put these pictures together last year and I forgot about them. I fell in love with his stuff after seeing his designs for Jen Kao's spring collection. I first encountered his jewelry when I was in Jen Kao's design studio, the clothes were beautiful, but I couldn't take my eyes of the accessories! And I don't even consider myself a jewelry person at all. After that, I spotted one or two of his stuff at the Barneys Outlet in Woodbury sometime in February. Whats funny is I think I've seen knockoffs of his stuff everywhere this spring, and its a shame because he is an up-and-coming designer (so young too).

Beautiful mosaic necklaces for Phillip Lim:

His designs for Jen Kao...WOW WOW WOW:

Rings and bracelets from his collection:

Urban Sand Fairy

me: 3.1 phillip lim blouse + stella mccartney skort + mango clutch + shoes i bought online

i am in love with this kind of muted, blushed color palette. it feels romantic and summery. my favorite editorials are from Camilla Akrans, she creates these beautiful washed out photographs. Just look!






And this is just really cute:

Milan Me!

The weather is getting really warm in NYC, so I might not want to think about fall/winter clothes again for awhile...so Alessandro Dell'Acqua lost rights to his name, so he came back even stronger with a beautiful fall collection under the new label name No21. I am especially in love with his use of beige & coffee colors, accented with baby blue and bright pink. I wish he extended into handbags, I wonder what he would pair with these looks!

Another highlight of Milan was the jetsetter/traveler look of Moschino Cheap & Chic. It was in perfect conjunction with the opening of the hotel Maison Moschino in Milan. More than the clothes, I loved the emotion of the show, and all the clever props as well.

And of course, Dolce & Gabbana. Here we see the big idea fabrics again: lace, velvet, lightweight mixed with super heavyweight. I want to own every single look I have picked out below!
